Languages

Regular events offered by the School promote the learning of modern foreign languages at different stages of the curriculum to encourage young people to develop a career with languages.

Lecturers employ the innovative applied approach to language learning used in our degree teaching. Two free-of-charge talks are available to schools and colleges and are targeted at year 9 and above:

Careers in languages/Why choose languages? The aim of this talk is to  encourage pupils to learn languages by emphasising their usefulness and value in the workplace.

How to choose a university course in languages? Help your linguists to find their way through the mass of universities and courses offering language study and select the best course for them.

For further information and to book one of these popular talks, please contact us.

Route A6 - Student shadowing scheme

The initiative is designed to give prospective students a real taste of student life at Salford, and to help them make decisions about their future at university. Apply to shadow a university student.
